I am using a T1i and had been using a XTi before. I use picasa to organize the many thousands of photos I have.

I use microsoft's synctoy to keep two USB disks (1TB MyBook) synced up because drives fail and I dont want to loose my work.

I also push the files up to a server at my work using microsoft's livesync. I used to do the remote sync with rsync but that is a linux/unix software primarily and the windows versions are not as fast or resilient.

I like picasa because it can handle 100,000+ photos without breaking a sweat, and I havent found anything else that can do that.

I import the photos to a 'holding area' folder via windows built in tools.

I usually go on vacations with about a dozen SD cards from 2GB to a few more recent 16GB buys. I like to dump these completely and take blank cards when I leave.

I have a Dell mini9 that I carry now to do remote uploads. I grab some wifi wherever I might be an push the photos off.
